    Good luck!

    I use generic 5 blade ones from Rite Aid and they work almost as well as Fusions which are literally 3 times a much money.

    Do they last as long?

    One week. Five shaves monday - friday. I would do the same with the expensive stuff.

    I spend $5 for 3 weeks of shaving- about $90 for the year
    Fusion blades actually last three times longer though, so it evens out (I use men's blades just because women's razors are inferior and it pisses me off. Fusion lasts way longer than anything else i've ever used including Mach 3).

    I use a blade for a week and that's it. I have very sensitive skin and anything more than that ends up poorly. My cheap razors last a week and do a good enough job but not an excellent job.

    No problem. Make the change- its worth it!

    I shave my head as well, so I'll take a look.

    This is also an option, http://www.headblade.com/

    I tried that out about 5 years ago and didn't particularly like it. was kind of small and odd to use the finger to hold it. I prefer to use regular razors to shave the head.

    Yeah, regular razors seem to work pretty well. Do you use any special type of shaving cream or oil for your head? I usually shave my head in the shower so I just use this 3 in 1 stuff that is good for soap, shampoo, and shaving.

    I use Edge Gel and I usually use a Gel after shave as well. I shave using the sink and let the after shave stay on for about 5 minutes then get in the shower to clean it off. I like the more moisturizing shaving cream. I usually do it at least twice a week, sometimes 3 times. and I love the shaved head. i have been doing it for about 10 years now. wish i had done it even before that.
